Chapter 63: Toughening the Body
So, she didn’t stop, she kept pouring water into the bathtub until it held about ten liters before stopping. She was gasping for breath as she lowered herself and held onto the sides of the tub.
She could have stopped at about nine liters when she felt that she was running out of spiritual power and couldn’t produce more water, but she forced herself to continue until she couldn’t even create another drop of water.
She was almost collapsing with a pale face and shaking hands. She felt as if her vitality had been drained and her body was an empty shell. This was a feeling nobody wanted to experience.
However, when she remembered how in the original book, both Lu Zhen and Leng Pan died tragically from being devoured by zombies because they didn’t have enough strength to resist, she gritted her teeth and sat down on the bathroom floor without a care.
Taking out a bottle of spring water, she drank half of it and sat down to regulate her breathing as if practicing meditation. She didn’t want to experience despair watching a loved one die without the ability to help or even worse, getting torn to pieces and feasted on by zombies.
Therefore, she had to ignore the fatigue now and practice hard. Once danger spreads and they have to fight, whether zombies or humans, they would not have the luxury of saying they were tired in the middle of a fight.
Thus, she had to work harder to improve her spiritual power in her body so that she could have an endless stream of water for when needed.
She still hadn’t started practicing the use of water as a weapon. But she needed enough water and control to do that. Therefore, first she had to increase the amount of water she could produce. From the description in the original book, Leng Pan could improve her strength and spiritual power by absorbing crystal cores from zombies and stabilize it and get used to fighting with water through real battles.
However, now that she had found a way to improve her spiritual power by absorbing water directly, she had to use it before gaining access to crystal cores.
